Using a travel advisor can be a great asset! Whether you are considering a once-in-a-lifetime safari or need assistance booking a simple hotel booking, Next Exit Travels has relationships around the world that we use to benefit our clients. From itinerary design services to navigating entry requirements to great value-added benefits, we support your travels with our connections and firsthand expertise.

If you are ready to get started on your next trip, please email reach out to Haleigh at info@nextexittravels.com. We do ask that our clients email us when they are committed to booking their next trip, as our booking process requires collaborative feedback delivered in a timely manner.

Please understand that not everyone is a good fit for us. We work with a limited group of high-end clients, many of whom are hoping to develop a long-term relationship with a personal travel advisor.

Our services are typically the best fit for travelers with a starting budget of $850 per person per night for domestic trips and $1,000 per person per night for international travel. This, of course, can vary widely depending on destination and dates of travel resulting in a lower cost at times. Please feel free to reach out to see if we would be a good fit for your travel needs!

As professional travel advisors, we do require a non-refundable Trip Design Fee at the start of each project. Our other professional fees include, but are not limited to, change & cancelation fees, administrative fees and more.

In addition to this planning fee, our compensation may also come from a combination of partner commissions and, in some cases, markups on net contracted rates provided by our trusted travel partners. These arrangements allow us to work with the best guides, operators, and experience providers around the world.

A few important notes:

• We do not add markups to publicly available hotel rates. Our hotel partners pay a standard industry commission directly to our agency. In some cases, hotels may provide contracted or wholesale rates which we package for clients, but you will never pay more than the hotel’s Best Available Rate.

• When working with private guides, specialty operators, or destination management companies, rates may be structured as net pricing, which allows us to package and manage services seamlessly on your behalf.

Our goal is always the same: to design exceptional travel experiences for our clients while maintaining trusted relationships with the partners who make them possible.

For more details, please refer to our full booking policies.

Every trip is different, and we treat them as such! Once we get the ball rolling, our planning process typically takes between 1 to 3 weeks. With this in mind, we do ask that our clients reach out to us when they are ready to book! We also ask our clients to reach out to us at least 3 months prior to their trip. Trip requests received within 8 weeks of travel are subject to additional supplemental fees.

While we don’t manage commercial flights in-house, we do have access to an Air Desk through our partners who can assist for a fee of $75 per ticket (this can be waived at times depending on the class of service booked). We do handle private charters for our clients.

We do not assist with hotel or airline point bookings.

Our booking policies are in place to protect our time and the value we bring to each trip. While we understand that sometimes things are out of our control, we do require all clients to accept the following change and cancelation policies. Please note that our fees are not inclusive of third-party partners or hotel policies. All fees will be charged to the credit card on file:

Cancelation Fees:
After Initial Deposit: Cancellation incurs a fee of $250 per person

Within 30 Days of Departure: Cancellation incurs a fee of $250 per person & 10% of the total trip cost

Change Fees:
We will gladly assist with changes requested after a trip has been deposited for our administrative fee of $100 per hour

Of course! We always recommend that our clients purchase a policy to protect their investment. We are happy to provide quotes and answer any questions you may have as you consider insuring your travels.
